L'Escarpe Sauvignon Blanc

Summertime Sauvignon Blanc

During the dog days of summer, nothing quite beats the refreshment of a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc.  Undoubtedly, this varietal has shot up the ranks to become one of the most demanded white wines … especially when the sun is beating down on your backyard or poolside gatherings.  Today we’re excited to share with you a surprising find from France’s Loire Valley – the unofficial motherland of world-class Sauvignon Blanc.

The Loire is rich with limestone & chalk soils, contributing to the oh-so desirable signature flavors of mineral dust to coincide with the bursting citrus, gooseberry and herbal character Sauvignon delivers in it’s best renditions.  Home to marquee regions such as Pouilly Fume & Sancerre, the wines from this part of the world just hit different than those of New Zealand & California.  In fact, it’s the Sauvignon Blancs of Loire which paved the way for the varietals widespread appeal we see today.

Enter L’Escarpe Sauvignon Blanc … an impressive bottling crafted from select vineyards rich in the famed Loire Valley soil.  This beauty boasts an intensity perfectly suited to cool one down on a warm summer afternoon.  It’s sleek, racy flavors pair well with shellfish, salads, fresh fruits and above all … good friends!  For a modest asking price of just $14.99 – this should be your house pour Sauvignon Blanc for the last few weeks of summer sun!
